Dream Scape
I lay in my bed
Eyes wide awake,
Hoping for sleep
The time it would take,
I find myself running
And I tripped then I fell,
Who was chasing me yelling?
I was scared I couldn’t tell,
I ran through the darkness
It felt like a race,
The tree branches scratching
And tearing my face,
I could hear all the footsteps
Catching up to me quick,
My heart was so pounding
It was making me sick,
Then I splashed through the water
My feet left the land,
The moment I realized
I was deep in quicksand,
I started to cry
For this moment I knew,
I was caught in this dream
Couldn’t wake up for you,
When hands started reaching
The dream in my head,
I finally woke up and
Found sand in my bed.
